Sutter County, nestled in the Sacramento Valley, offers dog-friendly outdoor adventures centered around Yuba City and the remarkable Sutter Buttes — the world’s smallest mountain range rising dramatically from the valley floor. Guided hikes through the Buttes are a bucket-list experience, and the surrounding farmlands provide wide-open spaces for dogs to enjoy.

The Sutter County Parks system and the Feather River levee trails offer excellent on-leash walking along scenic waterways. Explore the Yuba-Sutter region’s pet-welcoming restaurants, weekend farmers markets, and seasonal events in downtown Yuba City. With the Gray Lodge Wildlife Area nearby for birdwatching walks and the Sacramento River corridor providing additional trail options, Sutter County is a peaceful, uncrowded destination for dogs and their people.
